Abstract
A blister package (10) and method of removing a dosage form (1) from a blister package (10) are disclosed. In one embodiment, the blister package (10) includes a unitary blister sheet (12) and a unitary sheet of lidding material (14). The lidding sheet (14) is peelably sealed to the blister sheet (12), and includes unsealed areas (28) for facilitating the peeling of the lidding material (14) from the blister sheet (12). The unsealed areas (28) are preferably only accessible upon a bending of the blister package (10).
Claims (16)
1. A blister package comprising:
a unitary blister sheet defining at least one unit package region, the at least one unit package region including a recess having an open top and a flange surrounding the recess; and a unitary sheet of lidding material peelably sealed to the flanges, wherein said blister sheet and said sheet of lidding material further define unsealed areas for facilitating peeling of said lidding material from said blister sheet, said unsealed areas being accessible by a user upon the bending of at least a portion of said blister sheet and said sheet of lidding material.
a unitary blister sheet defining at least one unit package region, the at least one unit package region including a recess having an open top and a flange surrounding the recess; and a unitary sheet of lidding material peelably sealed to the flanges, wherein said blister sheet and said sheet of lidding material further define unsealed areas for facilitating peeling of said lidding material from said blister sheet, said unsealed areas being accessible by a user upon the bending of at least a portion of said blister sheet and said sheet of lidding material.
2. The blister package according to claim 1, wherein said blister sheet includes four unit package regions.
3. The blister package according to claim 2, wherein each unit package region is removable from said blister package.
4. The blister package according to claim 3, further including lines of weakness, wherein each unit package region is defined by the lines of weakness.
5. The blister package according to claim 1, wherein said sheet of lidding material further includes perforations for accessing the unsealed areas.
6. The blister package according to claim 1, wherein the recess includes walls and a closed bottom.
7. The blister package according to claim 6, wherein a dosage form may be disposed in the recess so that the walls hold the dosage form away from the closed bottom and adjacent said lidding material so that there is an empty space between each dosage form and the closed bottom of the recess.
8. A packaged dosage form including a package as claimed in claim 1 and a plurality of pharmaceutical dosage forms disposed in the recesses.
9. The packaged dosage form claimed in claim 8, wherein the pharmaceutical dosage forms are fentanyl.
10. A method of removing a dosage form from a blister package comprising:
providing said blister package having a blister sheet and a sheet of lidding material, wherein the blister sheet and the sheet of lidding material define at least one unit package region including at least one recess and at least one inaccessible unsealed area;
bending at least a portion of said blister package to allow access of the unsealed area;
grasping at least a portion of the unsealed area;
pealing away at least a portion of the lidding material to reveal at least one dosage form disposed in the recess; and removing the at least one dosage form.
providing said blister package having a blister sheet and a sheet of lidding material, wherein the blister sheet and the sheet of lidding material define at least one unit package region including at least one recess and at least one inaccessible unsealed area;
bending at least a portion of said blister package to allow access of the unsealed area;
grasping at least a portion of the unsealed area;
pealing away at least a portion of the lidding material to reveal at least one dosage form disposed in the recess; and removing the at least one dosage form.
11. The method according to claim 10, further comprising the step of separating at least one unit package region from other unit package regions.
12. The method according to claim 10, wherein said bending step includes splitting a portion of the lidding material along a line of perforations.
13. A blister package comprising:
a blister sheet including at least one recess having an open top and a flange surrounding the recess; and a sheet of lidding material including perforations, said sheet of lidding material peelably sealed to at least a portion of the flanges and defining at least one unsealed area between said blister sheet and said sheet of lidding material, wherein the perforations are located along at least a portion of the at least one unsealed area and bending of said blister package allows for splitting of the perforations and access of the at least one unsealed area.
a blister sheet including at least one recess having an open top and a flange surrounding the recess; and a sheet of lidding material including perforations, said sheet of lidding material peelably sealed to at least a portion of the flanges and defining at least one unsealed area between said blister sheet and said sheet of lidding material, wherein the perforations are located along at least a portion of the at least one unsealed area and bending of said blister package allows for splitting of the perforations and access of the at least one unsealed area.
14. The blister package according to claim 13, wherein said blister sheet includes a plurality of unit package regions, each unit package region including at least one recess and at least one flange surrounding the at least one recess.
15. The blister package according to claim 13, wherein the at least one recess includes walls and a closed bottom.
16. The blister package according to claim 15, wherein a dosage form may be disposed in the recess so that the walls hold the dosage form away from the closed bottom and adjacent said lidding material so that there is an empty space between each dosage form and the closed bottom of the recess.
